“…This species was found in the Upper Pliocene deposits and differs from Pseudunio taxa by the lack of lateral teeth (Chepalyga, 1964(Chepalyga, , 1965(Chepalyga, , 1967. Additional records of this taxon are known from the Early Pleistocene deposits of the Kuban River delta (Shchelinsky et al, 2016). This species may represent a stem lineage of Margaritifera margaritifera (Linnaeus, 1758) (Chepalyga, 1964(Chepalyga, , 1965(Chepalyga, , 1967Bolotov et al, 2016).…”

A Taxonomic Revision of Fossil Freshwater Pearl Mussels (Bivalvia: Unionoida: Margaritiferidae) From Pliocene and Pleistocene Deposits of Southeastern Europe

Margaritiferidae is an ancient freshwater bivalve family originated in the Jurassic in East Asia. Here, we revise several nominal taxa of fossil freshwater pearl mussels that were recovered from the Upper Pliocene and Pleistocene deposits of the Dniester and Prut river valleys. Based on morphological and stratigraphic data, we found that these nominal taxa belong to the genus Pseudunio and are junior synonyms of P. flabellatiformis (Grigorowitch-Beresowski, 1915). The new synonymy is proposed as follows: Margaritifera (Pseudunio) moldavica Chepalyga, 1964 syn. nov., Margaritifera (Pseudunio) robusta robusta Chepalyga, 1964 syn. nov., Margaritifera (Pseudunio) robusta speensis Chepalyga, 1964 syn. nov., and Margaritifera (Pseudunio) robusta tirassica Chepalyga, 1964 syn. nov. All these fossil nominal taxa were described based on minor differences in the shell shape and size, hinge structure, and stratigraphic position. Finally, we suggest an updated phylogenetic scheme of the genus Pseudunio, which contains five valid species: P. marocanus (Pallary, 1918) [Eocene – Recent, Morocco], P. auricularius (Spengler, 1793) [Pliocene – Recent, Southern and Western Europe], P. homsensis (Lea, 1865) [Pliocene – Recent, Orontes and Nahr al-Kabir basins], P. flabellatiformis (Grigorowitch-Beresowski, 1915) comb. rev. [Pliocene – Late Pleistocene, paleo-Dniester and paleo-Danube basins, an extinct lineage related to P. auricularius and P. homsensis], and P. flabellatus (Goldfuss, 1837) comb. rev. [Miocene, paleo-Danube Basin, a stem lineage, MRCA of P. auricularius - P. homsensis clade].

“…Раннепалеолитические артефакты были обнаружены в костеносной линзе (местонахождение Синяя Балка/Богатыри) и в 80 м к западу от нее в базальном грубообломочном слое разреза песков толщи II, залегающей на глинах куяльника (местонахождение Родники) [29,42], а затем в толще I блока Кермек в 250 м к востоку от устья Синей балки (местонахождение Кермек) [30]. Первоначально кермекская индустрия определялась как олдован, а сходные между собой артефакты местонахождений Синяя Балка/Богатыри и Родники рассматривались как Таманская индустрия [43], для которой было предложено определение «архаичный ашель», сочетающий черты олдована и раннего ашеля. Позднее все местонахождения были отнесены к Таманской раннеашельской индустрии и выделены два этапа её развития: первый -комплекс местонахождения Кермек, второй -комплексы местонахождений Родники и Богатыри/Синяя Балка [44].…”

Studies in paleomagnetism, structural geology, and paleontology (mammals, molluscs, palynology) in the coastal sections of the Taman Peninsula north-eastern part (2017–18) resulted in definition of three sedimentary members. The sandy and clayey lower member (I) formed at 2.1–1.7 Ma. It contains a normally magnetised zone within deposits of reversed polarity correlated to the Olduvai Subchron and the Matuyama Chron. The middle member (II) is composed of the basal pebbles overlain by sands. The reversely magnetised deposits hosting the Sinyaya Balka site, the type locality of the Tamanian faunal complex, is correlated to the basal bed of the middle member II. The overlying sands are normally magnetised (Jaramillo Subchron) in the lower part and show reverse polarity (late Matuyama Chron) in the upper part. The member II is dated in the range of 1.3–0.78 Ma. The silty upper member (III) represents Middle-Late Pleistocene. The dissimilar displacement degree of the members reflect developmental stages of the Quaternary deformation. The member I is characterised by dip angles up to 70° is fragmented by faults into blocks. The member II filled the relief of the eroded surface of the Member I and also displaced by faults. The faulting separated the bone-bearing body of the Taman faunal complex as a rock land-slide. The attitude of the member III outline an anticline with a gentle south-western and a steeper north-eastern limbs eroded by land-slides and marine abrasion. During its entire life the anticline was affected by mud volcanism. The anticline continues its development at the present stage.

“…Установлено, что они имеют раннеплейстоценовый возраст и при этом разновременны в рамках этого периода. По современным представлениям, эти стоянки являются древнейшими стоянками первобытных охотников и собирателей на территории России за пределами Кавказа и самыми северными в Евразии пунктами расселения первобытных людей в раннем плейстоцене (Shchelinsky et al 2010;2016).…”

“…Эта неизвестная ранее древнейшая на юге России раннепалеолитическая индустрия существовала в Приазовье в интервале от 1,6 до 1,0 млн л. н. (Щелинский 2014;2017;Shchelinsky et al 2016). Показательно, что она относится к тому же хронологическому интервалу, что и наиболее древняя из известных на сегодняшний день в Восточном Средиземноморье раннеашельская стоянка Убейдия в Израиле (1,6-1,2 млн л.…”
